Guinea-Bissau's military installed General Horta Nta Na Man as transitional president on Thursday, an army statement said, a day after soldiers toppled President Umaro Sissoco Embalo in a swift power grab that followed a disputed election.
The self-styled High Military Command for the Restoration of Order announced in a televised statement on Wednesday that they had ousted Embalo, in the latest episode of unrest in the coup-prone country.
Radio France Internationale reported that Nta would be president for a transitional period lasting one year.
